In order to truly belong, we must know who we authentically are first. If we can we learn to how to witness our own minds, body, and experiences and find security in our self-attunement and self-reflection, then we find security in ourself and in our higher power/source. I don’t desperately need to belong to you or need your approval if I already belong to myself and within myself.
But finding out who we are and honoring that takes an incredible amount of determination, courage, and exploration. It takes a certain kind of grit, curiosity, and willingness to be vulnerable and stand out/stand alone at times. And if we don’t belong to ourselves and don’t love and honor ourselves first, how can we know to whom, what or where we authentically belong?
